As the pandemic continues bringing change to higher education through the academic year, faculty, instructional designers and IT professionals are being more selective about the technology they choose for instructing and engaging students. While hundreds of education companies, nonprofits and other organizations made their software and services free during the immediate switch to remote learning, many have become more thoughtful about how they help educators master online and blended instruction. We've sifted through their offerings to bring you this updated set of free resources to help with online, hybrid and face-to-face learning in 2022.

If your organization has a resource that should be added to this list, send a brief message to rkelly@1105media.com with "free resource" in the subject header and include a link to your offer's website.

Adobe has developed a resource hub for education with free templates, links to free software (including Adobe Acrobat, Sign and tools for Google Drive) and videos with instructions for how to use the programs. https://acrobatusers.com/edu-resource-hub/educators/

O sucesso do sistema educacional da Finlândia tem sido objeto de estudo em todo o mundo desde que o país, que já foi um dos mais pobres da Europa, passou a despontar em rankings internacionais de educação, virou referência por conseguir promover ensino de qualidade de forma igualitária em toda a sua rede e, em consequência, viu seu Produto Iinterno Bruto (PIB) per capita se tornar um dos mais altos do mundo.

A successful  teacher is one that is able to build a rapport with his /her students, one that can easily connect with his learners and feel their needs as individuals. Open and clear communication is the key to develop a healthy friendly learning atmosphere inside your class.

In 2020-2021, the majority of college students (58 percent) used digital course materials more than in the previous year, according to a survey from the National Association of College Stores (NACS). Just 6 percent of students said they used digital materials less.

4 Essential Digital Skills for Teachers in 2021

Wednesday, January 27, 2021 digital skills, professional development

The current pandemic and the havoc it wrecked upon our lives have radically transformed the way we teach and learn. Hybrid (flipped) learning and remote and distance teaching have become the norm. More than ever before teachers and educators are becoming increasingly dependent on the power of digital and web technologies to conduct their daily teaching and to take part in virtual professional development events. With this being the case, I engaged in a deep reflection on the question of what counts as essential digital skills in (post)pandemic era and came up with categories below. In broader terms, these are the skills teachers and educators need to thrive in a digitally-mediated education. I invite you to check them out and share with me your feedback.

5 razões para usar tecnologias digitais na sala de aula...há mais, mas

It might have been long coming, but one fact is becoming quite clear. Traditional classrooms can no longer keep up with growing technology today. For example, one factor contributing to this trend is the fast-paced development of educational games for kids and online educational games for kids.

Still, many teaching concepts cling to traditional schooling. The opponents of the change point to the possibility that technology in the classroom could promote cheating. Possibly, but the facts that speak about the need to use modern technology in the classroom are more overwhelming.

Current trends and events give ample reasons this change is inevitable. Even before March 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic, trends in modern technology showed the positive elements of its use in the classroom.

Ferramentas digitais a ter em conta neste início de ano letivo

The world of EdTech is constantly evolving as more and more new updates and tools are being released almost on a daily basis. It is hard to keep up with everything hence the importance of curated lists such as the one below.
Just in time for the back to school event, a number of key EdTech platforms have released important updates that I believe you should be aware of. I collected some of these updates and included them in the list below.

4 Good Screen Recording Tools for Teachers

 Educatorstechnology    Thursday, April 22, 2021  

One way to boost your distance teaching during (and post) this pandemic is through  creating and sharing screencasts and instruction videos with your students. In today's post we are sharing with you some of our favourite Chrome applications that you can use to record your screen and create instructional video materials to share with your students or embed in your virtual class.

Using these extension will enable you to create video tutorials, step-by step guides, video explainers, and many more. Depending on which of them you use, these applications differ on the kind of features they provide and also on how much you can do with their free versions. However, for better screencasts and educational how-to videos we recommend that you choose a service that allows you to: include your webcam in the recording, integrate voice-overs or narrate using your voice,  access annotation tools (eg. add text, circles, draw, doodle, etc). Here are our recommendations:

Muito foco na "perda de aprendizagens" será um erro histórico...

Too Much Focus on ‘Learning Loss’ Will Be a Historic Mistake

Era bom fazer um levantamento sério sobre as perdas de aprendizagem e como elas se reflectem no futuro. provavelmente haverá outro tipo de perdas que a pandemia provocou e de que não se fala...

Learning loss is real and needs to be addressed, but how we go about it should be commensurate with the size of the moment.

Despite the understandable skepticism—and all the adjustments and sacrifices we've grown accustomed to—a sort of miracle is materializing in the distance. Published reports from the Centers for Disease Control suggest that the vaccines are doing their slow, steady work, and just a few days ago the state of California announced that they expect to be “fully back to business by June 15.” The siege appears to be lifting, and this time a full return to schools across the nation, while perhaps months away, is almost certainly not a mirage.

Social Media Use in 2021

A majority of Americans say they use YouTube and Facebook, while use of Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok is especially common among adults under 30.

How we did this

Despite a string of controversies and the public’s relatively negative sentiments about aspects of social media, roughly seven-in-ten Americans say they ever use any kind of social media site – a share that has remained relatively stable over the past five years, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults.

4 Ways Institutions Can Meet Students' Connectivity and Technology Needs

4 Ways Institutions Can Meet Students' Connectivity and Technology Needs

Many students have struggled with reliable internet access during the pandemic, according to a new report from Educause. The association for IT professionals in higher education surveyed 8,392 students from 54 United States institutions about their experiences with technology in fall 2020 — their learning environments, instructors' use of technology, problems with devices or connectivity, and more. Overall, 36 percent of respondents said they sometimes, often or always struggled to find an internet connection that met their academic needs; that share jumped up to 62 percent for students in unstable housing situations. And students in rural areas had more connectivity issues than those in suburbs, towns and cities.

15 Mistakes Instructors Have Made Teaching with Technology in the Pandemic

• By Rhea Kelly

There's a lot that faculty have done right teaching with technology during the COVID-19 pandemic — but there have also been times when technology use has been subpar. In a recent Educause survey, the majority of students reported that their instructors communicated and used technology effectively in their courses, whether learning took place online, face-to-face, synchronously, asynchronously or some combination thereof. At the same time, technology glitches and pedagogical misfires have at times led to more negative student experiences.
